Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 146 Liujiafang Market
The night was dark and windy, and the wilderness was silent.

Li Ji'an took Chen Qingling and flew away.

Just as they were about to fly over the Qingshui River, they sensed with their spiritual sense that several cultivators were fighting on the banks of the Qingshui River.

Qingshui River is the main industry of the Li family in the wilderness, among which spirit fish breeding can be regarded as unique to the wilderness, accounting for almost 80% of the Li family's revenue.

Just as he was about to ignore it, a familiar aura several miles away from the riverbank caught his attention.

"Zheng Tianxiang?"

Li Ji'an didn't deliberately keep in mind this person who had caused bad consequences for him in his previous life, but he was destined to get rid of him.

I met him by chance when I was just establishing my foundation four years ago. At that time, I was not sure of killing him with one blow, and I could not clear my suspicion, which would easily make the Zheng family hate me, so I chose to let him go.

After all, with his strength and trump cards in this life, he doesn't have to be afraid of the Zheng family.

But he can also regain his youth. If he encounters a narrow-minded and vindictive person who can do nothing about him in this life and waits for him to pass away and then bully his descendants, he will be laying a mine for himself.

So, either do it silently without leaving any suspicion, or eradicate it completely, otherwise, just wait.

And now, the opportunity seems to have come.

"Uncle Chen, I need to speed through the chaotic area, you just sleep well." Li Ji'an said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Qingling was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately.

The escape light of the Foundation Establishment Stage was fierce and flew at full speed. He was in the middle stage of Qi Training and felt uncomfortable, so he might as well fall asleep. He was used to it, as Chishi Sanren had often done so over the years.

"Sorry!" Li Ji'an used his magic power to make Chen Qingling fall asleep.

Then he summoned Gua Gua and swallowed it into his mouth.
-

Zheng Tianxiang hid behind a huge rock, with his mind fully open, watching the movements on the Qingshui River ahead.

The five cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training who were recruited from other places poisoned Qingshui River and have been discovered by the Li family of Qingshui River. The siege is almost coming to an end.

The five of them all had elixirs distributed by the Zheng family. Judging from their appearance alone, they were undoubtedly cultivators from the Zheng family.

However, considering the fact and attitude that Zheng Jiagang generously ceded the two spiritual vein temples to the four families and sincerely formed an alliance to deal with the Yan family, there is absolutely no reason to do so.

The only explanation is that the Yan family framed the Zheng family and did not want them to form an alliance with the four families.

In this way, the Li family had a reason to be pushed to the forefront to conquer the Yan family.

"Whoosh~"

Just as Zheng Tianxiang nodded in satisfaction and prepared to leave, a sound of breaking air suddenly came.

Before he could react, a fleshy tongue had already bombarded him.

Boom~
A flash of light appeared in his dantian, and a bronze round shield suddenly appeared.

As sparks flew, Guagua had already retracted his long tongue and dived into the ground.

Li Ji'an, who was hiding in the dark in the distance, nodded secretly. The self-protection of his own natal magic weapon was indeed a way to save his life.

Like the natal talisman he nurtured, the magic weapon could also nourish the Dantian, nourishing it with one's own essence, blood, and soul. Once the natal link was established, it did not require the owner's magic power to stimulate it, but only a movement of consciousness would do it.

"Hmph!" After his life was saved by his own magical weapon, Zheng Tianxiang hurriedly released a protective magic shield, sensing his surroundings with a gloomy expression.

However, nothing suspicious was found within the range of his spiritual sense.

Feeling the magic shield he released, Li Ji'an was a little surprised. Four years ago, he felt that his magic aura was stronger than his own. After all, he had established his foundation decades earlier than him.

But just four years later, his magical power was no longer as strong as his own.

After building the foundation, the price of daily enhancement pills for cultivation has increased a lot. The desert has been in turmoil for so long that every family has been consuming their foundation. Especially Zheng Tianxiang, his foundation was damaged after building the foundation and his potential was exhausted. I am afraid that his cultivation over the years has only relied on spiritual veins.

In the post-ancient era, without the help of elixirs, relying solely on spiritual veins, he only has medium-grade spiritual roots. It is estimated that he will never be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building in his lifetime.

"Swish!" Just as Zheng Tianxiang was surprised, a quacking fleshy tongue shot out from the ground behind him.

"Little beast!" Zheng Tianxiang was doubly protected by the magic shield and his own magic weapon this time, so he felt much more confident. After taking a hard hit and the magic shield became unstable, he swung a flying sword in his hand and shot straight to the ground where Gua Gua was.

stab~
However, just as the flying sword was launched, a flash of lightning burst out above his head.

Before he could react, several vine-like lightning flames surged down.

Rumble~
This is a second-level lightning talisman, which has a restraining effect on gold-based magic power and magic weapons.

The lightning instantly penetrated the mana shield, which had already been weakened by 50% by Gua Gua.

Then he bombarded the bronze shield without stopping.

Click~
The bronze shield held on for three breaths before finally breaking with a sound, cracks rapidly spreading across it.

Fortunately, the lightning dissipated after three breaths.

"You daring scoundrel, how dare you attack me by surprise? Get out here!" With his life at stake, Zheng Tianxiang could no longer care about whether or not the Qingshui River Li family would discover him. He roared, set up his escape light, and tried to escape. "Zheng!"

A golden light flashed again and instantly turned into a golden cone, shooting towards him with a devastating aura.

"No!" The new magic shield had just been condensed, and his natal magic weapon was destroyed. His pupils dilated and he roared in fear.

Bang!
The golden spike easily pierced the magic shield, tore the bronze shield into pieces, and then pierced his chest.

He looked down in amazement at the huge hole in his chest, but still couldn't see the culprit.

He fell to the ground with a thud, but died with his eyes open!

A second-level offensive talisman… It only appeared in the wasteland a few years ago when the five families formed an alliance… Was it the Yan family or the Li family?
He died unsure who it was.
-

"Hmph! You dare to come to my Qingshui River to poison? Search them for me, I want to see who is so bold." On the bank of the Qingshui River, the elder of the Li family looked at the five corpses on the ground with a cruel face.

Soon, the tribesmen found the Zheng family's elixir on the five corpses.

"Zheng family? The Zheng family is really two-faced?"

"Foolish! You'd bring something to identify yourself when you go to poison someone? The Zheng family's willingness to hand over two spiritual veins is a testament to their sincerity. Their ancestor is dying, and they no longer hold the dominant position they once held. They need us to join them in resisting the rising Yan family."

"That's the Yan family trying to frame us! They deserve to be killed!" The Li family members were filled with indignation after they believed they had seen through the Yan family's conspiracy.

Boom~
At this moment, a loud noise was heard not far away.

Then, Zheng Tianxiang's desperate roar was heard.

"Huh? There are still thieves, chase them!" The Li family immediately chased after them.

The Li family members stood there in shock until they saw Zheng Tianxiang's dead body with a big hole in his chest and his eyes wide open.

"The Yan family... captured Young Master Zheng in order to frame the Zheng family?" A clan member said in a lost voice without thinking.

"Confused! Zheng Tianxiang is here, which means he is the one who ordered these people. But... please call the ancestor!"
-

A month later, Li Ji'an and Chen Qingling came to a mortal city that was larger than the wasteland gathering area.

"Looks like... so much like..." 95-year-old Dong Jiangling murmured as he stared at Li Ji'an's face.

Li Ji'an smiled and bowed, "How is Uncle Dong?"

"Okay, okay, Senior Li... Please take a seat." Dong Jiangling came back to his senses and stretched out his one arm to greet Li Ji'an in a hurry.

Bringing Li Ji'an into the yard and feeling the powerful aura from Li Ji'an, Dong Jiangling's old face was full of smiles.

However, there is still a double gap between their status and seniority, and the communication between the two is limited.

"Aunt Cui isn't here? Aunt Yao asked me to bring her to say hello."

"Senior Li, please forgive me. Cui Niang went to Xiaowei's mother-in-law's house temporarily and will be back later."

Afterwards, Li Ji'an asked Chen Qingling to talk to Dong Jiangling on her own, while he went out alone.

Dong Jiangling and Chen Qingling got along very well. They were seven years apart in age, both were young Qigong practitioners, and they had known each other since that time. In addition, Dong Jiangling had almost repeated Chen Zhaohu's path in recent years, so they had many common topics.

Li Ji'an first walked around the city casually, covering everyone with his spiritual sense along the way, filtering out all the information about the Liu family.

Very few, and the few words that were spoken were all words of gratitude.

After all, this area is controlled by the Liu family, which is larger than the entire wasteland, and everyone can be said to be dependent on the Liu family.

After leaving the city, Li Ji'an went west for several hundred miles and arrived at the Liu family's large market - Biluo Market.

The second-grade medium-quality spiritual vein is much smaller in scale than the Jinhuang Immortal City, but the commodity resources are not bad. There are common elixirs and fine magic tools, but the majority are materials for formations, and there are almost no second-grade elixirs.

The control is quite strict. When entering the city, a second-level magic circle will reveal the true appearance and magic power, and registration is required.

"Hello, senior. Please let me know if you need anything." As I walked into a store that sold array-based materials, the shopkeeper bowed and greeted me.

"I need some base materials for a first-level formation." Li Ji'an ordered. Xiao Qiao has an excellent talent in formation, so he bought some materials for her to practice.

"Excuse me, what kind of materials do you need for the formation?" The shopkeeper was a fat, middle-aged man with a big face and big ears, and he smiled happily.

"Illusion Array, Restriction Array, Shielding Array, and Protection Array, three of each."

Formations are the application of the rules of heaven and earth, and are similar to talismans being partial manifestations of the rules of heaven and earth. A first-level formation can only utilize a limited number of rules of heaven and earth, and has almost no offensive effect. If you want to kill an offensive formation of the kill type, you need at least a second-level formation to connect with the murderous intent of the five elements, and a third-level formation to connect with the murderous intent of the earth.

Although Li Ji'an is optimistic about Xiao Qiao's talent in formation, his progress in practice is too slow, and he may not be able to successfully build a foundation. If this is the case, and his soul is not strong enough, it will be difficult for him to be promoted to a second-level formation master in this lifetime.

The spiritual strength required by a formation master is even greater than that required by a talisman master.

Unless one can obtain a secret method of soul cultivation.
